<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We’re on v.2.8.0 and are experimenting with the new Digital Object spreadsheet importer to append DO’s to existing archival objects.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In 2.8.0, I understand that import will fail where another DO already exists which is a use case I’m testing. However, using the ASpace 2.8.1 sandbox I get the same processing error, but the job is still successful when there are pre-existing
DOs. Is that expected behavior? See my real-world example at <a href="http://test.archivesspace.org/staff/resources/193/edit#tree::archival_object_43056">
http://test.archivesspace.org/staff/resources/193/edit#tree::archival_object_43056</a> (JPR4 and 5 are the new imports)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Question 2: in v.2.8.0, the import process fails unless either file URN or thumbnail URN is included. This is not documented as a required element. With 2.8.1 imports with these fields empty run fine. Is this expected behavior? We are importing
DOs as a pre-flight exercise and don’t have URNs yet. We’d have to add dummy data and deleted afterwards.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m reckoning the solution to my 2.8.0 problems is moving to 2.8.1?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
